RS McCain needs donations for his journalistic trip to New York’s district 23. An interesting line item for his expenses is two packs of cigarettes per day. I hope those are for share.
The clients’ guide to web design. This kind of tutorial is essential in expectations management. I’ll be expanding on this matter down the road.
Tom McMahon’s 4-block world has always been a source of great humor. Just start at the front page and keep scrolling.
Ditto SondraK’s Knowledge is Power, which, by simple linkage or judicious use of emphases, is able to turn any liberal news into a source of humor.
Jeffro asks, “how low is too low?” The basic skills for clients need to be reinforced. Clients should not dare deign to expect us to mainain sites in perpetuity.
Here’s an interesting article I got found from Twitter about the benefits (or lack thereof) of extended steady-state cardio. It seems a little more geared towards slightly more, erm, fit people, but once a fatty reaches his plateau it’s time to rethink methods.
Palin, Oprah, and the politics of personality — commentary by C4P, with some interesting insights on Oprah’s “community.”

Trekking Annapolis: a photo recap one year overdue

Last year around this date my friend and I spent a Saturday walking around Annapolis. We did street photography, toured the Hammond-Harwood House, the cemetery, Main Street, and ended the day on the shores of the Severn River on Seabee Beach across from the Naval Academy. Even the most developed areas of Annapolis do not hold very tall buildings. They’re not too far removed from the beautiful natural surroundings of the area.

Dashing Limbaugh’s Dream

Some time last week, Rush Limbaugh joined a group bidding for ownership of the St. Louis Rams. In response, the Left circulated made-up quotes that purport him to be racist. Rick Sanchez of CNN picked it up and ran with it. Rush’s supporters gallantly defended him and went on the attack, demanding of the Left proof of this quote. Of course there’s no such proof; the quotes regarding his supposed racism do not actually exist. What they have created is the appearance of racism. In their apologies they state such unapologetic ideas to the effect of “well, the quote wasn’t true, we’re sorry, but man he’s quite the racist anyway and you have to look at what he says.

Professor Chris Lawrence has a roundup on BHO’s Nobel Peace Prize commentary.
Charles Johnson, who was responsible in 2004 for publicizing (note, it was a Free Republic member who noticed the proportional font) the Dan Rather fake memos, himself has descended into fake-but-accurate Ratherisms about Rush Limbaugh.
Barry Oh and Jeff Flake, a side-by-side comparison of male physiques. Aaron Schock couldn’t be reached for comment.
Radley Balko muses on chicken wings and reveals that he thinks that chicken breast is tastier and easier to eat than wings. When you need to wash down every bite of ill-cooked chicken breast with a swig of drink and and sauce it up to mask the cardboard flavor, it’s really difficult to agree with him.
Fallible Blogma, verbatim: “There is a freedom that accompanies an economic system like capitalism that doesn’t exist in socialist and communist systems. And this freedom is essential to respecting the dignity of the human person.”
Mark Jaquith wants to start a new meme.
With the seeming departure of Satin Shaw from the daily weather, Weather In Satin about to throw in the towel. I say they should cover Cooking With Lee instead.
